The California State University and the University Of California systems are mandated by law to return remains and artifacts to tribes, but the state auditor found in recent years that many campuses have not done so.

Democratic Assemblymember James C. Ramos, the first Native American in the California Legislature, said campuses’ failure to return remains to tribes has denied “the Indian people the right to bring closure to family issues and historical trauma.”“We’re still dealing with a state that has not come to terms with its history — deplorable history and treatment towards California’s first people,” Ramos said.
“There certainly has been progress, but they've been under duress,” Kahn said. “We've been asking for years.” The University of California did not take a position on the legislation focused on its system but is committed to “appropriately and respectfully” returning Native American remains and artifacts to tribes, Ryan King, a spokesperson for the president’s office, said in an email. The university system already bans these materials from being used for research “unless specifically approved” by tribes, he said.
